The upper air disturbance that has been influencing our
weather this last week remains along the coast, but has finally drifted to our
north, resulting in a push of marine air into our region today. As the air warms up this afternoon, the
possibility of thunderstorms still exists. The moist air has also reduced the
amount of fire activity and the associated produced smoke at all three major
burn areas (Big Windy, Douglas and Whiskey Complexes). However, conditions are expected to dry out
over the next few days. Scheduled burnouts
to reduce chances of fire spread outside containment lines will lead to smokier
conditions once again.
